Fighting against anti-lemmy misinformation on reddit

old.reddit.com Misinformation about lemmy flooding the community (possibly reddit trying to prevent people from leaving)

I think there's a team of people intentionally spreading lemmy misinformation. I think reddit is trying to get people not to switch from this...

Please check my post, I think everything I said is very valid, but I want this community to see it too, and help steer the discussion, I think reddit is doing this intentionally.

I highly doubt Reddit is doing it intentionally. You're talking to people who have chosen not to switch platforms, and so they're giving you their rationalisations for it. The conspiracy theories aren't necessary to explain the behaviour, people will find all sorts of excuses for resistance to change.
- I don't know why you'd give reddit the benefit of the doubt, they've been caught astroturfing many times.
